Free Walkinars

Walking is an activity that many of us take for granted. But as pedestrian accident rates continue to rise and access to safe pedestrian spaces is diminished, communities are recognizing that walking — and improving the walkability of our neighborhoods — requires public attention and action.

The Walktober Walkinar series, hosted by the Maryland Department of Planning, will help planners, and local officials. All webinars will take place every Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. See the specific details below.
